Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael:
Playlist
from August 9, 2013

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I would prefer if the guy with the beard kept his hands where we could see 'em.

What's it with the two bearded guys? How come no arms in the air, dudes? Too cool for Hinky Dinky School?

Stopped and restarted player. Sounds much better.
@Jeff Golick: to answer your question, if I recall correctly, I am ACJones0112358 or something like that. Maybe I am just ACJones or A C Jones. I log in with my email address, so I do't recall how I show up when I review an album. Too bad they are not supporting list sharing very well anymore.

Someone gave me a disposable razor to try after seeing how often my face looked like the site of a Nitsch action. I've been using that dispoable number for FOUR MONTHS. Product life is stretched when you shave only 1.5 times a week.

I don't know if I ever heard the Kevin Grey Tres Hombres Mix. I just know the new box restores the original mixes for the first ten records, so it ditches all those 80's post-Eliminator do overs.

I wish I hadn't looked at that picture. I want to remember them like this www.google.com...
That other one makes me feel old

Hey, Unc & those assembled! Enjoying this set, and really dug the Western set, too. Been kinda busy with my new toy the past couple of days, but listening when I take a break from it. :)

@Dave: 'Tis indeed. Had a lot of buzzing issues trying direct digital recording with my old Korg—which only has about 5 settings but at least a full 88 keys—so this will allow me hopefully to record with better fidelity any keyboard tunes.

Ah, well a cat's tail (depending) could make a fine brushstroke.

i copyedited a book written by the current head of beam, inc. i'm usu. not much for the brown liquors, but i did make a midstream fact-finding mission to the bourbon aisle of the next-door liquor store.

i just got an email from arhoolie. big sale. Promo Sale: 8 CDs for $15
This sale is for our US customers only.

Here's a great chance to discover new artists you've never heard!

We're having a grab bag sale: 8 CDs for $15 (shipping included). These CDs were originally intended for promotional purposes, but we've got a few we didn't use and now we'd like to offer them to you. We will randomly select 8 CDs from our collection of all different eras and genres - you get to be surprised and exposed to more great Arhoolie music!

The CDs will not be shrink-wrapped, and will have a hole punched through the barcode on the tray card. Some of the CDs you could get are pictured here, but there are no guarantees. This will be shipped separately from any other items. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of international shipping, this sale is only available to our customers located in the US.

When NASA invited haiku to be shipped to Mars, an online news report about it brought a ton of offerings (although they were being offered there to the wrong place). I submitted one that merely considered the situation, rather than a real suggestion. It prompted a response that shows news-site commenters occasionally can do something other than dash all hope for humanity.

Me:

All verses ventured
Must suit that brave stirring voice
Marvin the Martian

@UM: I'll try to make an appearance on a semi-reg. basis, but likely listening even when not able to type.
Thanks for today's sounds!

Guys, remember how earlier today, I mentioned that Sonny Boy Williamson version of the Fannie Mae song but under a different title? I mentioned that I heard it on a different radio show that I listen to on Friday afternoons. That show is or was called: "Bob's Scratchy Records". I just found out that the host of that show, Bob Reuter, died. It was definitly in the past 6 days, because he was doing his show last week.
